2000AD Prog 897 – 22nd July, 1994 is a standout issue in the long-running and iconic British science fiction anthology series. Published during one of the most experimental and creatively bold periods of the title’s history, this issue continues to showcase the gritty, high-octane storytelling and bold artwork that defined 2000AD throughout the 1990s.

Inside this particular prog, readers are treated to the talents of both veteran and emerging creators who shaped the magazine’s signature tone. The legendary Judge Dredd features prominently, continuing his relentless fight for order in the dystopian sprawl of Mega-City One, brought vividly to life through sharp storytelling and striking, ink-heavy visuals. Fans of hard-edged satire and social commentary will appreciate how the strip never shies away from holding up a mirror to society — particularly through Dredd’s cold yet morally complex lens.

Beyond Dredd, 2000AD Prog 897 includes instalments of other fan-favourite serials, delivering a potent blend of sci-fi, cyberpunk, and dark fantasy. Strips like Sláine, known for their Celtic mythology and barbaric artwork, and Rogue Trooper, with its war-torn alien landscapes and genetically engineered soldier, continue to captivate long-time readers while remaining accessible for new collectors exploring the back catalogue.

The print quality of this era is distinct — pulp-style pages with vibrant inks that have stood the test of time surprisingly well when stored correctly. Fortunately, this copy is bagged and boarded with an acid-free bag and board and is sent to you in a secure book wrap/mailer, ensuring your comic arrives in the best condition possible. Whether you’re a completist collector or diving into the world of 2000AD for the first time, this issue offers a perfect snapshot of British comics at their grittiest and most inventive.
